"Ankita should have won the show or she she should have been the first runner-up. This is very wrong. Mujhe laga tha first ya second Ankita hi aayegi," she said. Ankita's husband Vicky Jain's mother was also seen in the car, smiling and waving at paps.
In another video shared by a celebrity photographer on Instagram, Ankita can be seen getting mobbed and hounded as she made her way to her car along with her mother.
